OOC THREAD HERE:http://www.roleplayerguild.com/posts/1388966

Go there if you want to join! :D

STILL LOOKING FOR INTEREST! You can post a CS if you're eager too. Skeleton is a few posts down.

Characters as of right now:










In the grim underbelly of New York City in the year 2200, there are the fiends of our lives. Gangs. They do what they need to do to survive. Without families, who will a kid turn to in this time of crisis? They have their gangs and nothing else. Lie, cheat, steal… Kill. Only the fittest will survive.
The RP will be centered around multiple teenage characters with a vast array of problems and the gangs they belong to, and how they survive. Those who wish to join will have a choice between joining either The Lost Ones or The Amaranth Wolves, which are rival gangs in New York. These are not the only two gangs in the city, but they are the most prominent and have the most well-known rivalry.

As far as the setting is concerned, it will obviously take place in New York City, but imagine most of it looking like the Bronx (abandoned buildings and streets, graffiti, etc.), except for a small, posh area called the Haven where the kids like to screw with the aristocracy. This is in the future, but the technology hasn’t advanced much as the economy has crashed long ago, causing the plague of poverty to descend upon almost every family. There is still, however, some sense of order within the city as the police do still snoop around and try to stop the child gangs from wreaking havoc on the rest of the city.

The two rival gangs are not very similar. They both have stress slightly different values and don’t run the same.

The Lost Ones are open, inclusive, and stress togetherness in a sense that does not bind one to the group or exclude them. Formless and leaderless. Aimless except in the search of survival and guidance. They are everyone, and they are no one. The goal is survival through means based in morality. No killing, and no stealing. But, if it came down to it, they will use physicality to get what they need to survive. Incapacitate, do not kill. Will their lack of a killer’s mentality be a savior, or their downfall?

The Amaranth Wolves, on the other hand, are a more exclusive gang. They do not let just anybody join their gang; not for elitist reasons or what have you, but for their lack of trust in outsiders. They have a pack mentality and any one member would die for the rest. They place their trust in a leader and they work toward a common goal. However, the Wolves aren’t quite as tender as The Lost Ones. They have no problems with breaking the law, or killing for that matter, and their way of approaching problems can be quite risky.

I will be playing the leader of the Amaranth Wolves, whereas Dark Wind will be a member among the ranks of The Lost Ones. We will be co-GM’ing the thread. It would be ideal for both gangs to have an equal number of players.

If enough interest accumulates, we will put up an OOC and the first IC post, which will be a collaborative piece between Dark Wind and me (We haven’t officially decided that yet). After that, you all can post your character sheets and we’ll go from there.

Some very interesting plots can develop with this. :D

Dark Wind and I are here to answer questions as well.

EDIT: Because I am an overachiever, I already have my character mostly done. If you want some information on her for whatever reason, shoot me a PM and I'll give you some insight. Dark Wind also has his character mostly figured out as well, but I wouldn't go bothering him with PMs as of right now. (He's not online now and I don't want him getting mad at me for random PMs, hehe. ^^;

I'm semi interested by why not more gangs or a law enforcement agency trying to take down all factions.

There are other gangs, but it'd be hard to have a coherent storyline if we had 10 different characters belonging to 10 different gangs. Also, the police are cracking down mercilessly on the gangs as of late, so there's plenty of risk.

Awesome! :D Let's see if a few more people will be interested too.

They both certainly have their advantages and disadvantages. I guess it all really depends on how your character is. ^^;

Yes there is. Here, you can have it if you want to start your character early.

Name: (First name, last name. Middle optional)
Nickname(s): (Optional.)
Gender: (Male/Female)
Age: (15-19)
Gang: (Subject to change if necessary. [See rules])

Height: (Whatever units you’re comfortable in.)
Weight: (Pounds, kilograms, whatever is good.)

Appearance: (Attach a picture [real-life, no anime please!]. Alternatively, you may give a detailed written description of your character. Also, keep in mind that if you’re attaching a picture, you can include anything else you feel we should know about the character physically, like what they typically wear or you can include features not shown in the picture.)

Personality: (Doesn’t need to be too fancy. Just give us some character traits.)

Short History: (What happened to your character prior to joining a gang? What was their life like? Remember: this is taking place after an economic crisis, you’re allowed to have some cliché bits.)

Other: (Anything else we should know?)

(You can click on "View Raw" if you want to copy/paste the CS with all the bold codes.)
Oh, there are no rules here yet.
The 'subject to change' bit is just if too many people join one gang. We might have to move people around if that happens.

Okay thanks. I just have one question. Should there be a section as far as 'rank' in the gang? Like, a newbie opposed to someone who's potentially the leader's right-hand-man? If so, how should that be determined?

Edit: Also, are there specific symbols for each particular gang?

The Lost One's is the North Star. (Because, you know, you can orient yourself with it if you're 'lost') It looks like this:

The Amaranth Wolves' typical symbol is a handprint of blood (left on walls or what have you). Not very wolflike (though it could be thought of to resemble a paw), but the whole blood bit fits nicely with the color of amaranth and emphasizes the fact that the Wolves are not afraid to draw blood.

The Lost Ones don't have any ranks among themselves, at least not right now. They mostly just do their own thing. The Wolves, on the other hand, do have ranks. I personally am not too big into the whole hierarchy thing except for a leader. I think the leader will just trust some people more than others. If you want, we can say our characters are close friends, or distant, or whatever.

Name: Deon Desmond Saunders
Nickname(s): Darth
Gender: Male
Age: 19
Gang: The Amaranth Wolves

Height: 5’11”
Weight: 168 lbs

Appearance:

Personality: Deon is a pretty cut-throat, brutal male that could be described as selfish and self-centered. He only looks out for number one (himself) however when his loyalty comes to be tested, he will do anything to prove he is better than anyone else. His hardened exterior can be chipped away though when a woman or two come into play, as he is a bit of a womanizer and has a pretty high sexual drive. He will, however, never put a woman in too high of a priority level, especially when his reputation is on the line of being a ‘bad boy.’

Short History: Born into a very poor family as the oldest, Deon was forced to start working at a very young age, therefore not able to experience much of any kind of child-hood. He had only his mother and younger sister for family; he had never once met his father getting the rather illustrious nickname ‘bastard child’ and his sister had a different father, who died when Deon was 11 years old in a car crash.

At first Deon was just a messenger boy, delivering secret messages to organization members that were more than a bit sketchy, but he knew better than to ask questions. The pay was poor and he was lucky if he didn’t get beaten by his boss on a daily basis, even if he delivered on time. As Deon grew up, however, he left the job as a messenger boy and started working in a slaughter house, butchering up the livestock into fresh meat and desensitizing him to the value of life in animals. Deon soon grew bored of killing animals however, and when he was 18 he got a job fighting in the ring at a local bar. He found that fighting others was something he enjoyed, even if a bit too much. Deon was on a pretty hot streak when he was then approached by a member of The Amaranth Wolves, and put his fighting career to the side to partake in something more fulfilling and…illegal.

Other: Deon has been with The Amaranth Wolves for over a year now and has quickly spread his name throughout New York as a deadly addition to the already merciless gang. He smokes cigarettes often and never passes up an opportunity to get drunk off his ass when his duties for the day have been met.

In case there was any doubt of his loyalty to The Wolves, Deon cauterized (scarification) his own representation of the gang's symbol to the opposite shoulder shown in the image above.

Depending on your female, he might try to

a) Sleep with her
b) Be her 'guard dog' and help remind people that she's the boss despite being a female
or
c) Try to dethrone her

Or any combination there-of lmao

Well, just so you don't sit there in anticipation, I'd might as well put up Angel's CS. It's about as complete as I can get it. That might give you a chance to think over some character interactions. ;D

Name: Angel Cecilia McBride
Nickname(s): None
Gender: Female
Age: 19
Gang: The Amaranth Wolves

Height: 5 feet 9 inches
Weight: 120 lbs.


Her body type gives her good agility.

Personality: A good leader. Cold. Cunning. Ruthless. A killer. Values the members of her gang. Holds strong morals. Is good at thinking and planning. Sometimes enjoys making things unnecessarily harder to “build character.” Often enjoys to play with her victims.

Short History: No one, not even Angel knows her complete story. In the earlier days of the Amaranth Wolves, a crying baby and a slip of paper with "Angel Cecilia McBride" scrawled on it was found outside their main hideout. No one knows who left the blonde baby there or why; but the Wolves couldn’t simply leave it there to die, so they took her in as a new member to their then small ranks. They raised her personally, and she grew up to be one of the most loyal members of the Amaranth Wolves. As far as she was concerned, her real family betrayed her, and the Wolves were her brothers and sisters now. She was a good fighter and was especially tough, qualities that caught the eye of the former leader, Hayden. What even made her more indispensable was her unseemly appearance: her cute, smiley outward appearance would often throw off her assailants, giving her a momentary upper hand. When Hayden suddenly got sick and died from an unknown disease, Angel, then 15, was chosen to be his successor and lead the Wolves with a strong hand. She has done an excellent job at strengthening the bonds within the gang and has been successful in getting food and other needed supplies through the years.

Other: None for now.
EDIT: I added a bit to the history real quick to show how she got her name. LOL.
